Commissions and payouts
How commissions are worked out, when they become available, what happens on a refund, and how to withdraw.
How a commission is worked out
Each time someone you referred pays for Ink Pro, you earn 30% of what they paid, excluding tax, in US dollars, rounded down to the cent. This continues for 12 months from their first payment.
Examples (made-up payments). A $19.00 monthly payment → $5.70. A $190.00 annual payment → $57.00. A payment of $15.83 before tax → 30% is $4.749 → $4.74.
Payments made with a discount or account credit may be excluded — the Affiliate Terms explain.
When you can withdraw it
At the top of your affiliate page:
- Available — ready to withdraw.
- On hold · 14 days — every commission is held for 14 days after the payment (or longer while it's under review). It shows how much frees up next, and when.
- Earned · all time — your commissions after any refunds, and how much is already withdrawn.
Earned by month shows the last six months; the current month is outlined. Activity lists every commission, refund and withdrawal with its amount and date, newest first; filter it to Commissions or Withdrawals. A commission still on hold shows on hold until the day it becomes available, or under review. Show more shows older ones.
Refunds and chargebacks
If a payment you earned on is refunded or charged back, 30% of the refunded amount is taken back — shown as Refund or chargeback in Activity. This applies even if the commission was already paid out, so your available balance can go below zero; new commissions pay it back first.
Withdraw
Once at least $50 is available, under Withdraw pick where to Send to:
- USDT TRC20 or USDT ERC20 — enter your wallet address, or
- Wise — enter your Wise email.
Below $50 the button is off, and a bar (Until you can withdraw) shows how much more you need. The withdrawal is for your whole available balance, and you can have one request open at a time. Double-check the details — payouts can't be reversed. Payouts are sent by hand, and you'll get an email when yours is sent. In Activity each withdrawal shows Requested, Sent or Returned (back to your balance).
If you close your Ink account, any unpaid balance is forfeited unless you request a payout first.
